THE MORMON CHURCH.
A Govern nmental Attempt to Con.
fiscate Its Property.

SALT LAKE Cry, Utah, July 3d.
A suit was commenced in the terri
torial Supreme Court to-day under the
direction of Attorney-General Gar
land against the Mormon Church for
the confiscation of $3,OOO,00 in prop
erty alleged to be unlawfully held by
the church and for the appointment of
a receiver to wind up the affairs OF the
incorporation known as the Church Of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The proceedings are instituted in con-
formity to the provisions of the
Tucker-Edmunds law which disincor-
porated the organization and declared
its property escheat to the govern
ment and applied to the benefit OF the
public schools of the Territory. The
church has immense possessions but
they are held in such manner that it
is thought almost impossible for the
governme to get hold of them. The
suit is not unexpected by the church
and it has been preparing for it by
transfers.

Board of Commissioners for foreign
missions received to-day cablegram

Bostod. The gifts can be sent by tel

GEORGIA GRHEVlNG
Over the LOSS to Her Crops by
Flooded Rivers.

AUGUSTA, GA, July 30.-The river
commenced rising yesterday morning,
and at O'Clock in the evening it
registered 33 feet inches, being the
highest since 1865. The cotton and
corn crops in the Savannah Valley have
been submerged and destroyed. Ham
burg is entirely under water, and the
upper and lower portions of Augusta
are submerged. The river is slowly
rising, and apprehensions are felt that
the freshet may result in serious
damage to the city. The food has
done great injure to the railroad, es-
pecially in Georgia. No such destruc-
tive freshet has occurred in 20 years.

The Columbia Bank Sus-

INUNDATIONS IN GEORGIA.
Another Panic Among Spectators
on the New York Stock
Exchange.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
PHILADELPHIA, July 30.-'rhe Col
umbia Bank, State institution,
closed its doors this morning, and
placed a notice on the door saying that
an assignment had been made to
Seodiun Megargle and F. p. Herman,
two attorneys, All efforts to obtain
any statement as to the amount of
liabilities or assets proved futile. 1t
is believed, however, that the failure
is complete one. President Bell, of
the Farmers and Mechanics Bank,
with whom the Columbia had de-
post account for several years, stated
that the checks of the latter were dis
honored because they had no money
to their credit, and furthermore had
no securities on deposit, as was claimed
by the Columbia officials.
CAUSES OF THE FAILURE.
1t is understood that the chief
causes OF the failure were the heavy
advances made on the drafts OF the
1ves-Stayner party, of New York, and
the advances on consignments of mer-
chandise shipped from South America
and other points which were not taken
up by consignees, thus leaving the
bank in crippled condition. A par
tial statement OF the assets and liza
bilities is promised, although it is
doubtful if anything very definite can
be learned before a rough examina-
tion is made, and this will consume
considerable time. The failure has
caused some excitement in the city.
although among financial men it is
not much of surprise. Among the
back assets are bonds and stocks put
down at $l33,0O0 but their market
value is very doubtful.
GARRETT's CONNECTION.
A gentleman who is in a position to
know said this evening: "When ne
gotiations for the purchase of the Bal
timore d Ohio stocks from Robt. Gar
rett were in progress, Ives deposited
considerable amount OF money as mar
gins and when the negotiations were
declared at an end, Ives did not get
his money back and Garrett went to
Europe, thus leaving things tied for a
time at least. Therefore Ives was
somewhat crippled and unable to settle
the with Columbia
STAYNER'S STATEMENT.
Stayner was seen late tonight and
repeated the statement that no deal
with his firm had embarrassed the
bank. In reply to a question whether
he had made a statement that the
Columbia Bank owed III. S. Ives d
Co. $67 900, he said that he had made
no such statement for publication.
He would not, however, deny it out
right. Ives has gone to Cinnati.
